The difference is they cannot blow another lead.

So many problems with this team. Your franchise player/captain looks like an amateur as he gives up the first goal of the game. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know which of our players are worth keeping. SO many of them look unprofessional and lackadaisical. Pegula can say the answers are already on the roster. I'm not seeing it. I don't find the way they play particularly entertaining which is very disheartening. Maybe Jerry Coleman was thinking of the Sabres when he called Buffalo losers. To that he would have a point.

Am I Denzel, or the guy in the glasses? I feel like Denzel and the guy in the glasses is my TV screen

When the product is not fun to watch, yes, this is what you get. If they were a hard luck team outperforming, but struggling to score, then we could look at a different perspective. What I'm looking at today is sloppy puck control combined with poor defensive play. Criticism has been earned.

I'm not convinced that a strict alternating games rotation is best for these goalies. UPL plays great Saturday, then sits. Given the rest, he could try to build momentum.

We've reached the point, where we can admit this team is not underperforming. They are just not that good. Time for the Pegulas to sell. If the team is sold and moves, that's one less embarrassment for Buffalo.

So what type of player does Jack want to be? If he's going to take extra shifts and play tired, then he has to move the puck faster. A quick pass takes far less energy than holding it to stickhandle it out. If he does not enjoy losing, then he has to at least lead by example and not take shifts, nor plays off.
